BOULDER — Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler has invited people with suggestions for changes or improvements in future elections to bring their ideas to any of several scheduled events, including one in Boulder on Wednesday, in what Gessler's staff is calling an “election integrity listening tour.”

“By many measures, the November election was a success,” Gessler said in a news release. “But there is always room for improvement. We want to hear from Coloradans about their experiences and how we can make our elections even better going forward.”

The listening tour's Boulder stop is set for 10 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Boulder Creek meeting room, in the Boulder Public Library, 1001 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder.

The Secretary of State's Office's news release said the public feedback events — which also will include one on Wednesday afternoon in Centennial, Thursday meetings in Pueblo and Colorado Springs and one scheduled for Dec. 12 in Denver — will give people an opportunity to share their thoughts on the 2012 general election and to give their ideas about the conduct of future elections.
